Chickens are a delight to keep. The take your scraps, unwanted caterpillars and grass clippings and turn them into eggs. Gwen loves to feed them long pieces of grass through the bird netting as well as help tipping the scraps over into the pen. Sometimes we just sit and watch them, or collect their eggs. On rare occasions, when the chickens have been let out for a bit more grass in their diet, she tries to catch one.
it's not an easy thing when you're not very fast on your feet and it actually takes a great deal of co-operation from the chicken in question. I'm amazed they let her do it.
As a Thing To Do chickens are wonderfully diverse and their eggs are fantasic when fresh. you get to indulge in things like 6 egg custard, meringues, frittata and 2 egg pancakes without worrying about the cost or if the eggs come from happy chickens. they have us very well trained.
